MySpace leak ends up on Pirate Bay

A 17-Gigabyte file containing half-a-million 'private' photos nicked from MySpace accounts (thanks to a bug in the social site's software) has made the top ten list on Pirate Bay.

However, downloaders are fast finding out that the file does not contain much hoped for porn, but is as dull as listening to a dissertation on the EU constitution read by Nigel Mansell. Basically, the photos are of weddings, babies and cross-dressing metal heads.

The file was compiled by a hacker called Dmaul who was angry that MySpace left the hole open for three months and still has not acknowledged it, although it has now been fixed. According to Wired, one downloader was so disappointed at downloading some of the most boring pictures he had ever seen, that he was moved to point out that if you want to download porn, you really should download porn and not this file.
